 I followed the steps given on ProblemHotlist#reinstall-clt. Software
 Update showed several versions of command line tools as outdated, as
 exptected. After installing/upgrading just the release matching the
 installed Xcode version, I deleted (and triple-checked!) the file
 /tmp/.com.apple.dt.CommandLineTools.installondemand.in-progress.

 However, Software Update still listed four other versions as outdated and
 insisted on installing them all, contradicting the wiki. Is there some
 step missing?

Comment (by ryandesign):

 Last I tried them, the instructions in the wiki were correct.

 Do you still see those CLT versions available in software update after
 restarting your computer?
